with a suitable software and would like to encode and author my DVDs
with TMPEG's DVD Encoder and DVD Author software respectively. But
which user-friendly software would be suitable for editing the AVI
format files saved with VirtualDub? My experience with VirtualDub when
I used it for capturing for VCDs was that if the capture file was
encoded with any codec like DivX, when it was clipped with VirtualDub
and saved, VirtualDub converted it to AVI format without any encoding
and it became huge in size when saved after editing. But VirtualDub
had a file size imitation of 1 GB (not very sure). That takes care of
just a few minutes of recording.
What I am trying to do is to get, say 6 episodes - each of 30 minutes
- of a
scientific or technical serial - episodes from Discovery or Animal
Planet
channel, clip the commercials out, leaving a net video of roughly
20-25
minutes per episode and then burn a 120 minute DVD in a multi-session
format
on DVD+R.
Is there any software suitable for editing the VirtualDub captured
files? Or
should one capture them without any encoding? Does Sonic's Vega
provide any help to edit mpeg-2 files? Which version of Vega is good
and stable for this purpose? I fully agree with comments I read here
about the quality of support provided by Sony and Sonic to customers
but unless a suitable solution for editing mpeg files is found by
talking to correspondents who have found solutions, I do not see any
way to make a DVD on my pwn.
I would appreciate if anyone would put forward some concrete
solutions.

As far as I know VirtualDub, even VirtualDubMod only captures
using codec that use an AVI wrapper. So what MPEG2 editing
has to do with your questions, escapes me.
If you have or want to edit MPEG2 try VideoReDo. Use it on
your MPEG or VOB files prior to TDA, and you can just skip
the chapter cut edit step, and go directly to creating menus.
